Vice President-elect JD Vance just provided the clearest explanation yet of the Trump administration‘s plans to pardon Jan. 6 rioters, telling “Fox News Sunday” that while there’s “a little bit of a gray area there,” those who committed violence during the 2021 U.S. Capitol attack “obviously” shouldn’t be pardoned. Those who protested “peacefully,” however, can expect to have their records wiped clean.

“I think it’s very simple,” the former Ohio senator said. “If you protested peacefully on Jan. 6 and you’ve had Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice treat you like a gang member, you should be pardoned. If you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn’t be pardoned.”

Vance’s comments provide a stark contrast to what President-elect Donald Trump has been saying over the past few months, with the future POTUS providing little to no details about who would get the pardons he’s been promising except declaring that protesters who assaulted Capitol police officers “had no choice” that day.
